Hi experts,
I am doing a migration… basically they are deleting my vm (sql server) and switching from vmware to hyperv
A few questions
1- The fact of now having hyper should not affect the sql server right?
2- I will backup all databases the day before, as we are backuping to an external drive and takes some hours… will a RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM DISK take the same time as the backup itself? I am planning on not doing the verifyonly, is it really necessary?
3- Is there any best practice: should I put the dbs to read only before doing that, so the users later will not complain about a lost update/insert they did…
Thanks!!
